Why do scientists need a standard system of measurement?

1 answer:

6 0

Scientists need a standard system of measurement to allow for consistency with measurement data (A). Scientists would not be able to understand what other scientists are saying if everyone uses their own system of measurement. Scientists need to take measurements, interpret them and communicate the results to other scientists. That is why a standardized system of taking measurements has been developed. The International System of Units or the Metric system is the measurement system of choice for scientists all over the world today.

What is the critical angle of light traveling from benzene (n=1.501) into air?

Taya2010 [7]

The critical angle formula should be: sin^-1(1/n)

where "n" is 1.501 into the air

<span>The critical angle of light travelling from benzene, happens because the larger angles of incidence from the inside of the benzene has experienced the total internal reflection. </span>

u have not displayed the question fella but i can guess the answer

Explanation:

the answer is (i)

because the current in a circuit is always directly proportional to its voltage thus making it to make a straight line in its graph

A Jeep accelerated at 2.2 m/s2 until after 18 seconds its displacement was 660 meters. Assuming the Jeep traveled in a straight

pogonyaev

Ok so we know:
The time (t) is 18seconds
The acceleration (a) is 2.2m/s2
The displacement (r) is 660

Using the equation
$r = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$
With 'u' being the initial velocity we want, we get:
$660 = 18u + 356.4$
So:
$18u = 303.6$
So:
$u = 16.8666$
So the original/initial velocity was 16.8666 or 16.87 m/s

Hope this helped
